AUSTIN, Texas -- New Texas coach Charlie Strong says he's feeling no pressure ahead of his first game with the Longhorns.

Texas opens the season at home Saturday night against North Texas, a team that went 9-4 last season with a bowl victory.

Strong has been charged with reviving a Longhorns program that hasn't won 10 games in a season or a Big 12 title since 2009. Strong noted Monday it's not his first game as a head coach. But Strong's 30-year coaching career includes only three as a head coach in a successful stint at Louisville.
